1 - Pancho's Eat today, continue enjoying tomorrow and the next day. But it is "all you can eat" and they are not embarrassed to bring you as many extra trips as you like.
2 - What-A-Burger A white and orange A frame heaven. Think Sonic whereyou must go inside and sit down, minus tatertots.
3 - Anywhere that advertises "Chicken Fried Steak" big greasy and wonderful -with smashed taters, white gravy,biscuits and a side order of whole kernel corn- how could you go wrong?
4 - Lone Star Beer. Even Armadillos drink Lone Star.
5 - BBQ Brisket, You will be in Texas. They will serve BBQ Brisket for breakfast.
6 - Stay away from Calf Fryers.
7 - (The one serious thing I'll say) Stay north up in The Woodlands. There is a Hilton Garden Inn right across the street from the woodlands mall. Here is a link.

We stayed there last month. We got our reservations through Travelocity.com and got a pretty good discount for a great room. There are about a hundred places to eat in that neighborhood ranging from What-A-Burger and Chick-Filet to $$$$$$. Oh, there is a Pancho's about a mile southon I-45 - If you've never been to Pancho's all Ican say is I pity you.It's not hard to get onto and off of I-45 and you can get anywhere in minutes using45. Enough of that.
